 after unmount. This results in creation of a new folder in /Volumes/ with
 the name "%MOUNT_POINT_NAME 1", "%MOUNT_POINT_NAME 2" ... etc. each time
 the drive is re-mounted.

 Yes I have been watching that. It looks like we have to wait until osxfuse
 3.0 is released and makes its way into macports.

 mavericks] and [http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/how-to-write-to-a
 -ntfs-drive-from-os-x-mavericks/] show Homebrew providing a mount_ntfs
 script.  I don't use Homebrew, so I can't tell where that comes from.  I
 ''believe'' Homebrew patches it in, and it is not provided by the ntfs-3g
 package proper.

 script somewhere?  It would avoid (error-prone) copy+paste steps for
 users, who would symlink it when desired, and allow Macports to version
 the thing.

 I totally agree with this!
